PREPARATION

Pulse in a grinder for a second or two all the ingredients given under ' to pulse' . Do not grind more. Set aside.

To this, add bread crumbs, shredded cheese, fresh cream. Combine well to form a dough like consistency. Still more sticky, then add required bread crumbs. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes (it is important for shaping perfect chicken skewer kebab)

When done, take a lemon sized ball out of this dough in your hand, press it in skewer and slightly flatten it so that it will be cooked easily and evenly. Line them in a butter paper. ( at this stage you can keep these kababs in freezer for later use. )

Heat a tawa / big nonstick pan with butter. Place the kebab over it. Shallow fry over a medium low flame until all sides are done. (do not cook over a high flame). Serve hot.

If in an oven - Place these skewered kebabs over a baking tray without touching the bottom of the tray (be careful). Sprinkle melted butter over kebabs and roast it for 7 - 10 minutes or until golden.
